By moving Eric Bledsoe, it could create the flawless opportunity for a team to pounce on a potential low-risk, high-reward situation - but only if the Sixers are willing to part ways with their former third overall pick for a less-than-desired return.

After turning down Jahlil Okafor's request for a buyout, the Sixers remain focused on getting an asset in return for Okafor, reports ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. The frustrated forward could be worth a flier on a single second-round choice - the draft is a crapshoot by that point, anyway - as a reclamation project.

Investment decisions should not be based exclusively on an endorsement by a promoter or other individual. ICOs have raised $2.2bn from January to September, according to data provider Novum Insights.

Okafor has racked up numerous healthy DNPs during the 2016-17 season and in 7-of-8 games this season, making it extremely hard to garner any sort of market for him. His ceiling is lower these days, but that talent hasn't completely evaporated.

Despite a plummeting stock, Okafor averaged 17.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks per game in his rookie season with the team, starting in 48 of 53 games played through 2015-16.

The Sixers can't expect much value in return for Okafor, yet anything is better than nothing since he's certain to leave next summer.
